Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) solicited proposals for a single data collection agent to carry out the 2010 National Survey of Prosecutors (NSP 10). This opportunity was structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Information and Statistics funding activity category, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work closely with BJS during the project rather than operating entirely independently. The core purpose of the award was to support a nationwide data collection effort that would produce current, standardized information on how felony prosecutors offices operating in state courts are organized, staffed, and resourced, and how they are responding to newer or evolving prosecution challenges.
NSP 10 was designed around a nationally representative sample of about 475 prosecutor offices that handle felony cases in state court. The survey’s primary emphasis was administrative and operational: collecting baseline facts such as staffing levels, salary structures, and office budgets. Beyond those fundamentals, BJS indicated that the survey could also capture measures tied to emerging prosecution techniques and contemporary issues. Examples specifically mentioned include community prosecution approaches, computer and internet-related crimes, management and prosecution of sex offender cases, and the office’s use of forensic and DNA evidence. The description also noted plea bargaining as a topic area and left room for additional issues to be included, signaling that the instrument might be broadened to reflect changing priorities in prosecution practice.
Funding for the project was capped at an estimated total of $450,000, with an award ceiling of $450,000 and an expectation of one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. The program fell under CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), aligning it with BJS’s broader mission of supporting national justice statistics and specialized data collection efforts.
Eligibility was relatively broad across organizational types but also included specific experience expectations. Eligible applicants included for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. The eligibility language also highlighted demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, explicitly including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. A key restriction applied to for-profit entities: consistent with Office of Justice Programs fiscal rules, they could not earn profit from the award or charge a management fee for performing the work, which effectively limits the award to cost-reimbursement style spending.
Key dates for the solicitation were as follows: it was posted and created on April 13, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 11, 2010, and an archive date of July 11, 2010. The funding opportunity number was 2010 BJS 2660 and the title was "2010 National Survey of Prosecutors." For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the listed program contact was Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at (202) 616-3561.
